Live Edge

Live edge woodwork makes an excellent addition to any home. With a custom built table, you can combine elegance and functionality in any space. We work with the natural beauty of the wood to create stunning pieces of art to showcase in your home.

When a tree falls in the forest, it decomposes in 70 years. But if that tree is carefully milled, it can produce 14 stunning works of art, which may stand for another millennia.

At RC Live Edge Tables, we transform natural beauty into functional works of art. With their flaws and irregularities from trauma, droughts, and minerals grown into each one of these fantastic trees, we use our expertise to reveal their hidden character and construct a one-of-a-kind creation.

Lynn Hostetler

Co-Owner

Lynn has always loved to work with wood, as well as meeting and interacting with people. With over 40 years of experience, he’s found that his career combines those loves perfectly.

He enjoys watching sporting events of all types. When he’s not running a business and working on projects, you’ll find him outdoors and spending time with his family and friends (including his grandkids).

Bill Yoder

Co-Owner

Bill’s solid background includes an Architectural Design degree and over 40 years of experience. He started as a laborer and later worked as a job foreman. He has always been interested in building and solving the challenges it brings. Bill enjoys meeting new people, learning about their unique project ideas, and working together to bring out the best in their vision.

In his free time, you’ll find him doing volunteer work in his community and helping friends and family. Bill is especially proud to be a grandfather.

Stephen

Cabinet Maker and Project Manager

Stephen likes to say the work chose him. After being in construction for 19 years, seeing the thrilled reaction of the homeowner is still satisfying. He also enjoys looking back at something he’s built with pride. Stephen’s skill set has been refined since he started as a laborer and worked his way up, learning all aspects of the woodworking trade.

In his free time, he loves to play golf and hunt.

Philip

Trim Carpenter

Philip received his first experience as a carpenter doing volunteer work. He enjoyed the work so much that he decided to do carpentry full-time. He has experience in many different facets of carpentry but here he is focused on cabinet installation, home remodels, and training others in his trade.

When he’s not working, he enjoys traveling and golfing as much as he can.

Jason

Trim Carpenter

Jason’s love for carpentry began at age 12 when he would help his grandfather, and he has since spent over 34 years working in the industry. His experience ranges from foundation work to the smallest final detail.  He loves what he does and embraces the everyday challenges that change with each new job and he loves the feeling of pride he gets when he sees a finished product.

In his free time, he enjoys golfing and spending time with his family.

Jeremiah

Trim Carpenter

Jeremiah has spent 13 years in general construction and seven years building custom furniture and cabinetry. He likes that there is so much variety in the work he does and that it changes every day. He likes being able to work with the rest of the crew and create beautiful spaces for our customers.

When he’s not working, you will either find him catfishing or spending time with his wife, son, and their three dogs.

Albert

Carpenter

Albert has been involved in construction on some level for his entire life, experiencing all aspects of residential remodeling except for electrical and plumbing. After spending eight years serving our country in the army, he has returned to remodeling full time. He loves the challenge and immediate satisfaction of this work, especially seeing customers who cannot wait to show the end result to their friends and family.

His time outside of work is filled with baseball, fishing, and camping with his wife and four sons.

Kerri

Administrative Assistant

Kerri will typically be the first face you see when you walk into our offices. She enjoys organizing, details, and completing projects, so taking care of the offices is a great fit for her. She likes being able to interact with customers and her coworkers in new ways each day, but the very best part of her job is being able to work alongside her Dad, Lynn!

In her free time, she loves watching sports and soaking up all of the time she can get with her family and friends.

Emmy

Designer

Emmy has loved design since she was young, but didn’t think of it as a career option until she started working for her parents’ construction company doing painting, tile installation, and picking out all of the finishes.  She loves the challenge of design, and finds it rewarding to come up with solutions to solve problems in the customer’s home.

In her free time, she likes to hang out with friends, work on her own home projects, and cuddling with her cat.
